Cheap IROC-Z
So I have my IROC-Z up and running!!
My goal was to have a nice running IROC on the cheap. It’s not too nice yet but I do have real license plates and it runs great.
I bought the chassis at the abandoned vehicle auctions and over time put it back together from parts off of parts cars.
$1700 total spent so far and $1600 plus made from selling the parts I don’t need.
Not including a couple of hundred hours labor of course…..
BTW, it anyone has a nice front bumper cover and or 16” IROC wheels in the Arizona area I could use them and of course if anyone needs anything I am selling off the extra stuff CHEAP.
I need to start the bodywork now but the firebird wheels are kind of growing on me

Re: Cheap IROC-Z
That is a really awesome car for the money you have in it man. Goes to show what you can do with a lot of hard work and keeping your eyes open for parts. I must admit I don't care for that style of firebird wheel, if they were GTA's it would be better. Otherwise I'd say go back with IROC's. Great work man!

Re: Cheap IROC-Z
Hey Noble!! Cool news on the '89, Don't forget to send update pics if you can
I agree on the GTA wheels. Definitely my first choice. The bad news for me is I sold a similar to GTAs set (off of a mid nineties Grand Prix) for a hundred bucks last year. A lady friend of mine has those GP wheels on her '91 Camaro and they look great except for the caps.
This car is looking like a keeper for me
